I write short blurbs on events and other things that I find interesting, or that I just want to share.
Gustavo the cat.

Recently a new feline has entered my life. His name is Gustavo, some call him Goose for short. I have learned many things from my time living with this animal. I used to be mainly a dog person. However, this cat has opened my mind and challenged my thoughts of cats. Gustavo is a strange beast. His actions will often leave me confused and laughing. I feel he is a loving creature at heart, although he may not show it at times. He loves to chase his stationary toys around the house. He pushes his toys away from him and then chases it, crashing into anything that might be in his way. Then, when my dog, Sage, goes over to see why Gustavo is making so much noise, he runs away at lightning speed for seemingly no reason. Gustavo seems to try to make the most out of whatever he see's. While one might see an ordinary toilet paper roll, Gustavo sees a puzzle that needs to be unraveled. I am eager to learn more from such an insightful creature, such as Gustavo.
Motorcycle License

Over the weekend I took a motorcycle training course, through learn 2 ride, with a friend. Passing this course would allow me to receive a waiver from the NY DMV motorcycle road test so, I can get a motorcycle endorsement. My experience with the course was amazing. The ride instructors were very nice and ensured everyone was meeting objectives. I had a lot of fun and was able to get a perfect score on the final tests. I was also able to use this course to reflect on my day to day driving skills. I am looking forward to purchasing a motorcycle in the near future.
I will be trying to implement a comment system. Given time, it should get better and better and more secure. As of now, the comment system is functioning and will stay live. Rate limiting is in effect and I am planning on implementing recaptcha here soon. Feel free to leave a comment!
Why am I starting a blog?

So why did I start writing a blog. To be honest I have been struggling to come up with ideas to write about, I find it very difficult to share my personal ideas or beliefs. Luckily, I don't have the stress of thinking lots of people are going to read this. Anyways, I just want to be more comfortable with sharing my own thoughts and ideas without fearing judgment. I hope forcing myself to make these posts will help. A big reason I made this page was to have a fun compsci project. At the beginning of my blog I had a json file on my server I would edit every time I wanted to make or edit a post. Now I had made a proper admin terminal with a password, rate limiting, the whole 9 yards. But now that I have a full working terminal to make and edit blog posts, I have to actually make posts and I am finding it difficult to formulate ideas that I am comfortable sharing. I am working on bettering this. I know this post is long and all over the place, but it is kinda an important one to me.
Stepping out of your comfort zone

Opportunities are everywhere. I can be a very shy person, altho it may not seem like it. I just step out of my comfort zone and interact with people more than I would generally like to. This can sometimes lead to awkward situations but, this is a great way to learn. Learn about yourself and others. The more comfortable you get with doing things you wouldn't normally do, the more comfortable you will be doing it in the future. What I am trying to say is to put yourself out there. If you see an opportunities, grab it.

The new york state police have started investagating a theft of about 40 U.S. Veteran brass grave markers. Police have estimated the robbery to take place between September 1st and September 2nd. Im very suprised of how little news coverage there is.
